- Title
EFFECTS OF FAMILIARIZATION ON CHILDREN'S RATINGS OF PICTURES OF WHITES AND BLACKS.
- Authors
Cantor, Gordon N.
- Abstract
<em>80 9- to 11-year-old white children (40 males, 40 females) were exposed to 10 10-second presentations of each of 3 pictures of white and each of 3 pictures of black boys. The Ss then rated these pictures and also those of 3 previously unseen whites and blacks on a 5-point, rating scale, indicating the extent to which they "would like to bring the boy home to spend time with them and their families." The major results were: (a) the Ss as a group rated the blacks more highly than the whites; and (b) familiarization enhanced ratings made by both male and female Ss of the blacks, but not ratings of the whites (male Ss rated familiar whites below non familiar whites, whereas female Ss gave these groups virtually identical ratings). These results were discussed with reference to earlier child studies on familiarization effects and the adult literature concerned with the effects of "mere exposure"</em>.
